Automotive Aluminum Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast (2012 - 2018)

The automotive industry is committed creating a generation of vehicles that offers superior fuel efficiency without compromising safety, performance, or comfort. Aluminum offers automakers the opportunity to design and manufacture safe, high-performance, energy-efficient, corrosion resistance and environmentally friendly vehicles that are much lighter in weight. In addition to taking advantage of the lighter mass of aluminum compared to steel for the body of the vehicle, further weight reduction is possible through secondary weight savings in the engine, transmission, brakes, wheels, tires, fuel tank, and other systems.

Browse for full report: Automotive Aluminum Market

Substituting one pound of aluminum for steel parts, the auto designers can remove 2.0 to 2.5 pounds of cast iron, making the use of aluminum very attractive. The majority of this aluminum is used in automotive and light truck applications. Aluminum used in cars and trucks are segmented depending on their used as aluminum casting, as aluminum extrusion, as aluminum Flat Rolled Products (FRP) aluminum sheets. Cast products contribute more than half of the aluminum used in cars. Cast aluminum transmission housing and pistons have been virtually universal in cars and trucks throughout the world. Aluminum sheet is currently used in two classes of automotive applications including auto body frame and closure panels. Heat exchanger fins and plates and aluminum sheets for chassis are some of the applications in it. Extruded aluminum is the material of choice for countless applications such as sun roof channels and roof rails. Various alloys can be readily formed into complex shapes. Two wheeler industry mainly used aluminum for manufacturing alloy wheels. 

One of the major factors driving this market is continuous growth in automotive production and sales. Government regulations on environment are also enhancing the growth of this market as 90% of aluminum can be recycled. Increasing fuel price is also boosting the usage of aluminum as reduction in weight of vehicles saves 5 to 7% of fuel. The availability of other lightweight material (reinforced plastic and magnesium) could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Asia Pacific is the fastest growing market for automotive aluminum industry due to the rapid industrialization in China. Europe dominates the market with largest car manufacturers followed by APAC, North America, Latin America and rest of the world.

Browse the full report at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/acrylic-acid-market.html

The global acrylic acid market has witnessed strong growth in the recent years due to rising demand from super absorbent polymers and adhesives and sealants industry. Increasing demand for super absorbent polymers in emerging economies has remained the key driver for this industry. Moreover, increase in construction and building activities in emerging economies is expected to keep driving demand for the acrylic acid during the forecast period. Since, propylene is a key raw material used in the manufacture of acrylic acid and any fluctuations in the prices of propylene significantly alters the profit margins of acrylic acid manufacturers. Volatile price of raw materials is one of the major factors inhibiting the acrylic acid market. The global prices of propylene reached USD 1800 per ton in 2011 and are expected to rise further due to increase in crude oil prices and supply constraints. Moreover, stringent regulations in North America and Europe are expected to affect market growth in the near future.

Acrylic esters, glacial acrylic acid, ammonium polyacrylate and cyanopolyacrylate are the key derivatives of acrylic acid. Large volumes of acrylic acid were used for production of acrylate esters, which accounted for over 51% of total acrylic acid consumed in 2012. Methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate are the key types of acrylic esters and are most widely used in surface coatings, adhesives and sealants, textiles, plastic additives, printing ink, etc. However, it is expected to exhibit slowest growth among all derivatives of the acrylic acid during the forecast period.

Glacial acrylic acid was the second largest outlet for the acrylic acid. Glacial acrylic is mainly employed in the manufacturing of super absorbent polymers. Super absorbent polymers are compounds of glacial acrylic acid mainly used in disposable hygiene applications. It is used in manufacturing baby diapers and training pants, adult diapers and feminine hygiene products. Poly acrylic acid is another important application of glacial acrylic acid and is mainly used in water treatment, detergent co-builder and mineral processing.

Asia Pacific dominated the market in terms of volume as well as revenue and accounted for over 40% of the global demand in 2012. Moreover, Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest growing region over the next six years and expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2012 to 2018. The rapidly growing construction industry in emerging economies such as China, South Korea and India has propelled the growth of the acrylic acid and its derivatives market in the Asia Pacific region. North America and Europe accounted for second and third largest share of the global acrylic acid volume consumption in 2012.

Acrylic acid manufacturing is a capital intensive process and is dominated by large multinational companies. Some of the leading industry participants in this market include BASF SE, Dow Chemical, StoHass Monomer, Rohm and Haas, Formosa Plastics, Nikkon Shokubai, Arkema SA and so on.

Rebound in the construction activity across the world is expected to drive demand for different kinds of formaldehyde resins in the next six years. This in turn is expected to propel the demand for formaldehyde in the years to come. Asia Pacific has been witnessing strong growth across key end-use industries of formaldehyde including construction, automobile and textiles. Volatile raw material prices are expected to be a key concern for formaldehyde manufacturers over the next five years.

Growing health awareness and increasing environmental regulations are expected to restrict demand for formaldehyde derivatives and thus limiting the growth of formaldehyde market. In July 2010, the U.S. government imposed new formaldehyde emission regulation "Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act" for various products such as plywood, Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), and others. Moreover, in Europe, REACH has already imposed stringent emission standards for formaldehyde emissions from wood products.

Urea formaldehyde resins (UF Resins) accounted for over 39% share of total formaldehyde volumes consumed in 2012. However, phenol formaldehyde (PF) resins are expected to exhibit fastest growth during the next six years. With over 13% share in total volume consumption, phenol formaldehyde resin was the second largest application market for the formaldehydes in 2011.

Construction, automobile, aerospace and textile are among the key end-user industries for formaldehyde. Construction industry has remained the most predominant end-user of formaldehyde with over 65.0% in total volume consumed in 2012.

Asia Pacific accounted for 57.7% share of total formaldehyde volume consumed in 2012. Moreover, the demand for formaldehyde in Asia Pacific is expected to show robust growth in the years to come. In 2012, Europe was the second leading geographic market for formaldehyde followed by North America. Some of the leading industry participants include Bayer AG, BASF SE, 

Celanese Corporation, Huntsman Corporation, Dynea Oy, Momentive Specialty Chemical Inc., Georgia Pacific Corporation, and Perstorp Formox AB.
